If you live in Tower Hamlets and have found that your relationship with substances such as drugs or alcohol has become uncontrollable, attending a drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets is highly advised.

Although you may not believe that you need to attend rehab, if you rely on substances, find it challenging to go without substances and consume substances on a daily basis, it is likely that you have developed a drug or alcohol addiction.

Sadly, addictions can have disastrous consequences on both your physical and psychological health.  Your addiction could also begin to take its toll on your loved ones and relationships with others.

Considering this, we would encourage you to call us today.  We can help you locate a suitable drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets.

 

Drug and Alcohol Abuse In London

Across London, drug and alcohol abuse is a widespread problem that impairs the lives of thousands of people every single day.

As touched on above, drug and alcohol use can severely impair an individual’s physical and psychological health.  Although this is undoubtedly the most significant ramification of drug and alcohol abuse, an increase in the number of people consuming substances has seen drug and alcohol offences soar.

In the last year, more than 47,000 drug offences were recorded in London by the Metropolitan Police. Alcohol consumption has also been linked to a number of crimes in London, including drink driving, assault, domestic violence and traffic accidents.

Sadly, an increase in drug and alcohol-related offences highlights that communities are also affected by drug and alcohol abuse.  Yet, the number of people obtaining support for drug and alcohol abuse and addictions remains somewhat minimal.

 

The Benefits Of Attending A Drug and Alcohol Rehab In Tower Hamlets

If you are struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, it is in your best interest to attend a drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets.

Not only will doing so enable you to overcome your addiction, but it will help combat offences across London.

Furthermore, attending a drug and alcohol rehab will provide you with the opportunity to repair your relationships with others.

 

Attending A Residential Drug and Alcohol Rehab In Tower Hamlets

As you consider attending a drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets to overcome your addiction, you may find yourself unsure of which rehab you should attend.  As a result, you will likely approach your GP to seek help.

Although your GP will be able to refer you for rehabilitation treatment via the NHS, we would encourage you to consider attending a private residential rehab.

While the NHS can successfully support you in overcoming your addiction, the NHS has become somewhat stretched over the last few years.  This essentially means that you may be required to wait for the treatment you need to recover from your addiction.

However, should you attend a residential drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets, you will be able to secure treatment almost immediately.  You will also find that the treatment provided is entirely bespoke to your addiction and recovery needs.

 

Treatment Encountered At A Residential Drug and Alcohol Rehab

As you enter a drug and alcohol rehab in Tower Hamlets, you will be required to complete an admissions assessment.  Carried out by medical professionals at your chosen rehab, this assessment will ensure that you are provided with the treatment that you need to overcome your addiction.

Usually, rehabilitation treatment commences with a medically induced detoxification.  Detoxification will encourage your body and brain to free themselves of the toxins that you have administered throughout the duration of your addiction.

Essentially, this will enable you to withdraw from drugs or alcohol.  During detoxification, you may experience a number of withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches and nausea.  You may also experience insomnia.  However, you will be provided with the support and guidance you need to complete detoxification successfully.

Following on from detoxification, you will progress onto the rehabilitation stage of your programme.  During rehabilitation, you will participate in one-to-one and group therapy.  The therapy you are provided with will depend on your psychological state.

However, many of the drug and alcohol rehabs in Tower Hamlets will administer psychological, well-being and holistic therapies.  Irrespective of the therapy that you come across, you will begin to understand what has caused your addiction to arise.  In turn, you will have the chance to determine how you can avoid any triggers that could cause you to relapse in the future.

When you are deemed ready to leave rehab, your chosen drug and alcohol rehab will continue to support you with 12-months of aftercare support.  This will see you attend weekly group therapy meetings.

Even if you do not think you need to attend group therapy meetings upon completing your time in rehab, we would encourage you to do so.  Failure to take advantage of aftercare support could see you more prone to relapse in the first year of your recovery.
